The Plant Spirit challenge starts May 1st, and I’m so excited to take part. You can read bios from all the hosts, including me! This is kind of a big deal to me because it marks a transition. I tend to avoid putting my face and name out there in connection to my religion, butContinue reading “Looking Ahead”

Perceptions
I was in high school when I started to seriously study and practice any form of Paganism. I was solitary except for a few experiments with an equally curious friend. I didn’t meet any other Pagans in person until college. The introductory books did not prepare me for the diversity in our community. IContinue reading “Perceptions”
Why I Believe Pagans Need Clergy
First, I want to thank @swampdruid for bringing the latest Wild Hunt post to my attention. Sometimes, life gets busy and I miss some of their fantastic content. With a busy toddler, work, and managing a protogrove, I rely on my connections to filter the good stuff my way. More on that in a bit.Continue reading “Why I Believe Pagans Need Clergy”
Look What I Won!
I’m so excited to share that I won a free autographed copy of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess by Courtney Weber. A friend on Twitter brought the author and contest to my attention after I posted about my recent Imbolc reflections and activities. I decided to enter because why wouldn’t a flameContinue reading “Look What I Won!”
Beautiful Bounty and Garden Surprises
My Twitter pal Lady Althaea really inspires me. Like other Pagans and Witches, much of her work focuses on keeping in touch with the land. She does a lot of foraging and herbalism, and I feel like I don’t get out as much to explore like I used to. Her posts on her blog andContinue reading “Beautiful Bounty and Garden Surprises”
Pagan Parenting Reblog: Raising Pagan Children
Originally posted on Mist to Open. Mists to Bind.:
I’ve always intended on raising my children pagan, and over the past two years, as I’ve been putting that desire into practice, for the most part, it has not been a conscious effort. There are a few things that I try to teach my daughter, and…
The Dark Side of Druidry
I don’t normally reblog, but this post from John Beckett of “Under the Ancient Oaks: Musings of a Pagan, Druid, and Unitarian Universalist,” was just too good. A friend and grovie sent it to me because she felt I am a Druid warrior. That really made my day. I’m definitely not a passive tree-hugger. IContinue reading “The Dark Side of Druidry”
DIY Finger-Knit Ghost Garland | Pretty Prudent
What a cute (and kid-friendly!) project! I can envision folks making a new ghost each Samhain to represent a loved one who has passed away. It could also be a wonderful way to decorate an ancestral altar in October and November. DIY Finger-Knit Ghost Garland | Pretty Prudent. Have fun!
30+ Examples of Christian Privilege — Everyday Feminism
Just a quick share today. I’m super busy with appointments and breastfeeding! My friend RavynStar shared this link on her FB last night. I found myself nodding in agreement and feeling frustrated with the status quo. Who knows what religion, if any, my daughter will embrace, but it’s annoying to think that she may haveContinue reading “30+ Examples of Christian Privilege — Everyday Feminism”
Me and What I Do
I was very touched by this post from the blog “A Forest Door.” There has been a lot of drama in the “Pagan” online community lately. Paganism vs. Polytheism. Secular Humanists Pagans/Atheist Pagans vs. theists. Vegetarian Pagans vs. Omnivorous Pagans. Pop culture icons as deities vs traditional Gods. The list goes on and on, and,Continue reading “Me and What I Do”
